Great to see another IndieWeb project on the HN front page. The more the merrier. At this point, it almost feels like we need a meta-directory to keep track of them all. For others like me who are fond of these projects, here are a few other directories and indices worth checking out:
I recently built a Small Web Discovery feature for the WebLibre Android browser that unifies multiple sources (currently only Wander and Kagi Small Web). The feature is still very alpha, in the upcoming weeks I will look into adding more sources. Documentation here: https://docs.weblibre.eu/weblibre/small-web.html and there are some screenshots in this Wander issue: https://codeberg.org/susam/wander/issues/11
Personally, I use https://github.com/kagisearch/smallweb/ to feed my search engine / crawler. It contains 30k + rss/atom feeds of indie web sites. Thx for sharing this and the other directories.
these are awesome. linking to all of them from III. i personally use Gossip's Web a lot (https://gossipsweb.net) to find new cool sites and wanted something similar but searchable. i also felt like i had a really good alliteration i couldnt waste
Am I missing something? This doesn't seem to be an "index" at all. The name "index" made me think its trying to accomplish what marginalia is already doing
I can't seem to find the rules. How do I know if my site is in scope here? It it like Kagi's small web that's only for blogs, or does it need to be run by a <10-person company, or like what means "indie" here?
Viewing the submit page requires an email address and bugmenot@bugmenot.com does not work

Slashpages often have a directory where you can discover new indie websites. Also fun to add those slashpages to your own website.
https://slashpages.net
Oh delightful, thank you for this! I also maintain a somewhat similar meta-list on my site lynkmi: https://lynkmi.com/oisin/lynkmi%2520adjacent
Going to dig into these soon and will post a few!

I'm quite fond of https://ooh.directory/
also https://powrss.com

There is also https://personalsit.es which I help maintain.

https://marginalia-search.com/
And stuff like Gossip's Web has been around for a decade now
https://gossipsweb.net/
IndieWeb also has a massive "web ring" that has a similar aim

I don't think there is anything wrong with overlapping other projects, particularly when it's about surfacing the personal web.
Yeah I'd prefer to be seen contributing to an ecosystem[1], rather than sucking all of the air out of web discovery.
[1] Of either collaboration or friendly competition. Keeps everyone involved honest.
III is basically Gossips Web but searchable. users submit sites with descriptions used for semantic search
not a crawl-based index
I can't seem to find the rules. How do I know if my site is in scope here? It it like Kagi's small web that's only for blogs, or does it need to be run by a <10-person company, or like what means "indie" here?

right now there are no rules, and im hoping i dont need to make any. only requirement to submit is email address validation
Is it an index of nice sites for someone's LLM training set?
> Main Street Wealth helps to sell and buy Home Services businesses.
I like the site though.
Looks nice. Will be adding crawls.in (Domains homepage screenshots)
How do you populate this index?
entirely user submissions. think https://gossipsweb.net but with semantic search on user descriptions. fairly low key
Ah yes, the indie internet index, which does not load without javascript and has no source code linked.
i think you were looking for the Old & Obsolete Online Ossuary - indie sites are allowed to use react and be closed source
tranners with delusions of grandeur amazinf
the AI bots are not even trying now lol
